With OOo that option was available, as you note, under Tools > Options > 
Memory.  However, with LibO that isn't even an option at present so 
there is no little check box to tick to enable it.

To get around this I have added a launch icon to LibO onto my panel and 
that opens up the LibO welcome screen with the option to open a new 
component or to open an existing file.  It isn't ideal because at least 
when the OOo quick start button was available the entire OOo was loaded 
in the background making launching the components that much faster.

I hope that some kind developer takes a look at this issue at some point.
